Some new pictures

My Baby Can Read! ha

Sweet Baby

Father Michael came to bless Louis when we got home from the hospital. So sweet.

Stir Crazy

Please don't misunderstand this post- I am really loving being home and I love having Louis here. But, I have to leave my house! On Sunday my mom took me to Walnut Hills and the outlet mall. It was about equal to New York- seriously. That was the first time since Monday that I had stepped outside. Very nice. This morning Rob asked me "When can you go out in public?" Um....now? Please take me somewhere!
On another note- since I am apparently under house arrest for a few more days, I would love to have some visitors. Any time you want to stop by, feel free. Just make sure to come to the back patio door so the dogs don't attack you.
Louis has his first Dr. appointment Thursday. Can't wait to see how that goes.

We are home! Louis is adapting really well, and Rob and I have gotten a lot of sleep thanks to my mom staying here at night (and most of the day)! We are going to try the night routine ourselves tonight. Keep your fingers crossed! Here are some more pictures.

On the ride home

Louis and GrandDavid

Special Delivery

Louis has arrived! He came Friday, January 14th at 2:05 pm. He weighed 6 lbs 13 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long. He is just perfect. I think I am still in shock that he is here. About 8:30 that morning my back started hurting a little, but I didn't think it was anything. Thank goodness my assistant Mrs. Walker made me call the doctor, because I was for sure in labor when we got to Jackson!! Everything went super fast, and now we're all doing great!

Nearing the Finish Line X2

The house is almost finished! We should be in (with furniture) Friday. Louis is almost here too. 17 more days. I can't believe how fast time has gone. Here are some pictures of the almost finished house. I'll try to put more up once the furniture comes Thursday and Friday.


Finished hardwood floors. They are so pretty. The picture does not do them justice.



Master Bedroom with carpet. The door on the left is to Louis' room. The right is the bath.



This makes me laugh. Louis' room. 17 days before he is born. I think I am laughing because if not, I may cry.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas friends! I hope that you all have a wonderful day filled with family and friends. To those of you living in Vicksburg, pick up today's paper and read the Letters to Santa. Precious. A girl in my class got her letter scanned into the front page (in color)- big accomplishment! I have to retype a letter from one child in my class. Hilarious: Dear Santa, My sisteres hav ben vere bat. I think you shud put coll in ther stocking. Will you fill ther roomes with coll. Will you give me what thay get. Ples give me a gun.
Um....ok. I seriously laughed out loud the first time I read it. I have got to call his mother and see what she thought. I hope you can read and understand the creative spelling. This gives you a little insight into what I do every day. Actually, I don't even notice the spelling much anymore as long as the handwriting is legible. Please remember- these are 2nd graders. Another girl in my class told Santa she wanted "skinny jeans kids size: Large". Nice use of punctuation there.
We have a new finish date for the construction- January 14th!!! This is 2 weeks earlier than expected. This is wonderful because.....baby Louis will be here January 27th at 7am! We are so excited to know the date. That is, unless he decides to come earlier. He needs to hang in there- the 27th is perfect, and I've got some schoolwork to finish before then.
PS- Never got my Christmas cards, which isn't a big deal. Just wanted you to know you haven't been cut from the list. Be looking for baby announcements in February!

I promise I will post pictures soon. My camera is dead.
